sand and water upon the surface to be spattered. i

In the drawings, Figure l shows a brush constructed in accordance with' the invention, and Fig. 2 shows one of the steel strands used.

The brush is constructed of a mass of twisted individual strands, of narrow, thin, flat steel l2xl/16xl/64 for fine work to those of 12x3/lGxl/32 for coarse work, and set in a wooden handle, of a size to permit the brush being held and used with one hand. The strands are held in place, by running an iron bolt through the core of the handle, the head of the bolt outside the handlc at one end, and a nut on the threaded ond of the bolt which projects an inch and a half 'above the other end of the handle. The strands are set in the handle around this nut, a band of wire encircles the strand above the nut, and another band is placed Copies of this patent may be obtained for distribute evenly, a semi-liquid mixture of cement,

around the strands below the nut. The setting of the strands is 'accomplished by turning the head of the bolt, drawing` the strands tight into the handle. Four ory live inches above where the strands are set into the handle, another band of wire is looped around the strands, while the ends of the strands are left free and open to gather and 4hold the mixture, to be spattered over the surface'on which this class of work is t0 be done.

The twist in the metal strands tends to hold the mixture to be spattered for a period long enough, to allow the person handling the brush, time to spatter the mixture upon the desired portion of the surface so to be treated.

The twist in the metal strands tends to distribute the mixture evenly over the surface to be spattered. The strands made of steel are more durable, for the work to be performed with the brush, than if theywere made of another material. I

I claim:

The combination in a spatter brush, of twisted steel strands, set in a handle and held in place by bolt, and nut, and bound together at several points with their ends free and open, all substantially as set forth.
